Title: Chapter 4 Assignment - Manipulating The Light Post by: goldcoastgolfer on October 30, 2011, 01:27:19 PM I have to admit to cheating on this shot. I was playing with some of the scene modes - specifically the 'Child portrait' mode which fired the flash off. However I thought this shot had some interesting contrasts with the sun in the background and the shadows created offset by the flash.
Taken handheld with a Nikon D7000 and a Sigma 17-70mm lens: Focal Length: 46mm (69mm in 35mm format) Exposure: 1/250 F Number: f/9 White Balance: Auto ISO: 100 Exposure Bias: 0 Title: Re: Chapter 4 Assignment - Manipulating The Light Post by: goldcoastgolfer on October 30, 2011, 01:29:31 PM This is one where I attempted to do the 'halo' effect with the sun coming off my daughter's face. I think if she had her face turned a bit more towards the sun the effect would have been better.

I can't help but wonder what the photo would have been like without it... I think I would have some better contrasts around my son's face if the flash hadn't fired.

When in the auto modes such as "portraits"and the flash goes off, you have no control. What I would do is try a portrait mode then try a manual mode with the same settings as portrait but shut off the flash and see what happens. Compare the two pictures and see what lighting effect you would get.

These photos were for an assignment in the Exposure book and it was to use the scene modes so I guess it helps to understand what the camera's attempting to do and what the limitations of the different. I haven't had a chance to find some interesting light yet with the kids so I'll probably add a few more later as I find something interesting. |
